Mindfulness starts with the body: somatosensory attention and top-down modulation of cortical alpha rhythms in mindfulness meditation
Overview
This paper proposes a neurophysiological framework linking mindfulness meditation's somatic focus to the modulation of cortical alpha rhythms. It suggests that attending to body sensations optimizes attentional filtering in the primary somatosensory cortex, potentially aiding in chronic pain management and depression relapse prevention. The resource is theoretical in nature, aimed at researchers or clinicians interested in the mechanistic underpinnings of mindfulness-based interventions.
